Christian Mizuki Maeda - The Repair Shop

    Have you ever go to repair shop to fix your special memorial treasure? This program "The Repair shop" broadcasts how the professional repairman in the repair workshop fixes the product. I've watched this program since I came to New Zealand, but I already love it.

    Every single thing that the customer bring to the repair workshop to repair looks really adorable, but also it has wonderful memories and stories belonging to their owners. One goblet which the owner couple bought when they married had a sweet memories. One toy wooden house which owner's grand father made had a dramatic story. These lovely memories and stories are one of the biggest reason I love this program.

    The way the professional repairs the antique thing is also one of the reason I love this program. Their skills and the knowledge are amazing. They know exactly what kind of stuff is needed for and how they can fix it. Those skills and knowledge came from their great experiences. I impressed with that. 

    Last but not least, we could see owner's happy face when they received their treasure. Those treasures repaired well and get back their original outlooks. Once owner see these repaired treasures, they pleasure really well. I love watching their happily face.

     Because of these, I love The Repair Shop.

    Oh, it souds great. Repairing an item could be broken or discarded and turn it into a new face. And then give it back to the owner. It is so heart-warming.

    I have watched the Repair Shop from time to time. The craftsmen indeed have impressive skills. Actually my Dad was very much a handyman when he was younger. There was virtually nothing he couldn't fix or restore. I love the principle of restoration because it is so much less wasteful to restore than to dump or trash old & damaged items. Long may the programme inspire a new generation of craftspeople to enter the professiion.

Surveillance Technology - Emi Kawamori

   I think that the advantage and disadvantage of surveillance technology is the debatable problem. In my opinion, the technology of the CCTV camera makes our life much safer. If there was no CCTV camera around the city, there might be a lot of crimes. For example, in the supermarket, it could be much easier to stole the stuffs. In case of on the street at night, the possibility of happened to meet suspicious person would be rise. According to above, the technology of CCTV camera makes our life safer and thanks to it, we don't have to much scared of stranger. Although there are any benefit to us, I sometimes feel little scared of the CCTV camera. When I use the lift, there are often CCTV cameras on the wall. It makes inside of the lift safe, but we cannot know who is watching us.  I feel scared of been seen by someone without my notice. As conclusion, it makes our life safer, but the company which sets the cameras  should make it clear who is watching and how the inf...

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.

Talk with friends - Sakura Iyama

Image
       Talking with friends makes me feel relieved. However in New Zealand, there are few friends, therefore I’m really into talking with my friends on the phone. Due to the time differences between Japan and New Zealand, it is difficult to do that, however its difficulty makes me think that I should value my time.        For example, the time to communicate with family and friends that I used to talk to before coming here is precious time and without that, I would not be able to be happy.  Therefore, in my opinion, making phone calls is not only difficult but also makes me feel happy.
